Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Upon hearing this, the young manโs gaze darkened slightly. โFather, Iโve consulted numerous divine physicians about my leg. Iโd rather not.โ
โIt is different. Think of it as a visit to her home, a chance to enjoy delicious food better than what the palace chefs can make.โ
Seeing the emperor so excited, he reluctantly agreed to prevent hurting his fatherโs feelings.
The next day, the emperor skipped the morning court session and brought his beloved son, Li Yuxuan, to Lucky Garden.
Upon seeing the eleventh prince, Qiao Mai nodded approvingly.
โLooks good.โ
Li Yuxuan looked at the emperor in confusion, who immediately explained. โAddress her as Aunt. She is the future mother-in-law of your sister Jiamei.โ
โUncle, Aunt, good to see you!โ
After everyone was seated, Qiao Mai went straight to the point, instructing the eunuch to bring Li Yuxuanโs wheelchair closer.
Facing each other, Li Yuxuan felt a bit nervous.
โAunt, what are you going to do?โ
โCould I eat you in front of your father? Just kidding. Give me your hand; let me check your pulse.โ
Understanding, he obediently extended his hand, and Qiao Mai pressed on his pulse point.
Upon touching the pulse, Qiao Mai carefully observed him. Despite his thin frame, his overall health seemed good except for his legs.
Her spiritual scan revealed he had profound internal strength from martial arts, a fact the emperor was likely unaware of.
โRoll up his pants.โ
Given the princeโs consent, servants rolled up his pants, revealing his legs.
โWhat a beautiful color, black with a hint of brightness. The poison has likely been accumulating for over ten years.โ
The emperor felt hopeful and smiled.
Li Yuxuan was taken aback. Could the divine physician mentioned by the emperor be this gentle woman in front of him?
โI was poisoned at the age of two. Itโs been fifteen years now.โ
โEnduring for fifteen years is not easy. It seems a divine physician helped you push all the toxins to your legs?โ
โYes, it was the only way to save my life.โ
โYou are resilient. If you had met me a year later, you might not have survived.โ
Li Yuxuan chuckled self-deprecatingly. โThe divine physician said I wouldnโt live past twenty.โ
โLay him flat on the round table, legs exposed to the calves.โ
โMadam Qiao, what are you doing?โ โIโm treating him. Donโt you want that?โ
โAh, can this illness be treated?โ
โOf course. He can live to a hundred. Why wouldnโt it be treatable? Itโs just poisoning.โ
Qiao Mai instructed the servants to follow her orders. The emperor, Yuan Jiaqi, and Yuan Haichuan watched with curiosity. freewebn(o)vel
Li Yuxuan gritted his teeth and turned his head to glance at the palace servants. โDo as Aunt instructed.โ
The palace servants brought over a large round table and expertly placed the eleventh prince on top.
Approaching the table, Qiao Mai instructed a servant to bring a large basin filled with water.
With a swift motion, she produced a jade bottle, uncorked it, and poured a pill into Li Yuxuanโs mouth.
She then took another bottle and dropped a pill into the basin.
After tying his legs with ropes, Qiao Mai took a hollow bone needle used in her previous treatment for cerebral hemorrhage.
She found two thick veins on his legs and swiftly inserted the needle, resulting in a foul smell filling the room.
Qiao Mai fanned the air in disdain, then had someone bring a chair to keep watch over the eleventh prince.
The old emperor stepped forward. โMy child, endure it. This is your only chance.โ
The old emperor had reservations about letting this woman, whom he felt was playing games, treat a condition that numerous renowned physicians couldnโt cure.
Nevertheless, with a glimmer of hope, he decided to proceed. He only had a year left. If the treatment worked, great; if not, he had long accepted his fate.
Qiao Mai glanced at him disdainfully. โWhat, you donโt trust my medical skills?โ
โNo, but Iโve been treated by many doctors. Iโve become somewhat numb.โ
โIโll have you walking in no time. Believe it or not?โ
โI donโt believe it.โ
โAt least youโre being honest.โ
After releasing his blood, Qiao Mai gave him a pill. The color returned to his face, which had turned pale due to blood loss. The emperor watched eagerly, wondering about the origin of this seemingly miraculous medicine.
โMadam Qiao, what was the medicine you gave to Yuxuan just now?โ
โThe first one was to protect his heart, and the others were blood-replenishing pills. Otherwise, once the poisonous blood in his legs is drained, he would have been bled dry. Haichuan, pour him a cup of tea; we canโt let him be dehydrated.โ
As everyone observed, the black color on the eleventh princeโs legs slowly lightened. Qiao Mai periodically loosened the ropes to ensure blood circulation.
If left for too long, the blood vessels would become blocked, leading to paralysis of the lower body.
An hour passed, and the black color turned into purple. Another hour later, the purple hue transformed into a bluish shade. Lunchtime had come and gone, but no one felt hungry.
At the hallโs entrance, a delicate figure left while leaning against the door frame after discreetly observing for a while.
After a while, Li Yuxuanโs legs had recovered their original skin color, and the discharged water turned red.
Qiao Mai removed the needle, untied the ropes, and gave him another pill.
They opened all the windows, allowing fresh air to circulate.
Everyone observed as the basin of dark blood gradually transformed into clear water, presumably due to the effects of the medicinal pill. The emperor excitedly held his sonโs hand. โDoes it hurt?โ
โNot at all. My legs donโt hurt anymore?โ
Qiao Mai coldly snorted, โWith my intervention, of course, itโs healed.
However, after a decade of immobility, your legs need time to recover. Stay in my residence; itโs beneficial for your health.โ
The princeโs eyes were red. โThank you, Aunt!โ
โYou canโt eat now, but you can eat fruits. Iโll send you to Tingfeng Residence. If you feel energetic after waking up, try walking with assistance.โ
โUnderstood, Aunt!โ
After he left, the old emperor set aside his dignity and bowed to Qiao Mai.
โThank you, in-law. Now, someone can share the burden of my responsibilities.โ
โHmm, Iโll accept this gesture. I hope I didnโt save a wolf in sheepโs clothing.โ
โNo, I trust the character of Xuanโer.โ
โHmph, actions speak louder than words. Weโll see when heโs put to the test.โ The emperor was speechless. How dare she talk about her son like that! โQuickly arrange for the meal; Iโm about to starve.โ
Qiao Mai smirked, โYouโre complaining about hunger after missing one meal. Soldiers in battle sometimes donโt eat for a day, yet they donโt act like you.โ
โI havenโt been in a battle for many years. Iโve pampered my body.โ
He then grabbed a piece of fruit and ate it unceremoniously.
โMother, Iโm going to the kitchen to let them prepare the food,โ Haichuan said as he stood up.
The emperor, still eating fruit, proudly asked Qiao Mai, โWhat do you think of my son?โ
โLooks good.โ
โHeโs more than good! Heโs talented and skilled in martial arts.โ
โBut heโs a bit reserved.โ ๐ฏ๐ง๐๐๐๐๐ซ๐ท๐ธ๐ฟ๐๐ต.๐๐ธ๐ถ
โThatโs because his mother died early. He has been secluded in a remote place in the palace. His temperament is due to circumstances.โ โDo you really want to deepen our family ties?โ โYes, it depends on whether your daughter likes him.โ
โWell, let fate decide.
As the meal was served, everyone fell silent, engrossed in their food. The emperor noticed Lingerโs absence.
โWhere is Princess Tianshui?โ
โEating in the shop. Itโs inconvenient for her to be around an unfamiliar man treating his illness.โ
โYou have a point. Iโll leave my son with you for some time. Do you want me to send some guards?โ
Qiao Mai sneered. โIf my home canโt protect your son, your palace wonโt stand a chance.โ
โAll right. If you have the ability, go ahead. I wonโt argue.โ
โHow long will my son stay here?โ
โCome to pick him up in ten days.โ
โAlright!โ
โEmperor, you better return to the palace. Weโve kept you company for almost a day and are tired too.โ
And so, Qiao Mai drove the emperor away..
